A great ride!

I’ve listened to every Longmire book and this book didn’t disappoint. Yes, it’s a bit shorter than most but the listen was still over 4 hours long. George Guidall reads these books flawlessly. Listening to these books is a ‘comfort food’ for me. I can’t wait for the next one.

Reads like a novel

Revisado: 10-19-22

I heard about this author’s recent death at age 45, and then read about his book in the online obituaries about him. I was interested to read it, as the author sounded really interesting and I love New Orleans. I could not find a printed copy to purchase (written in 2007, it seems to be out of print), but fortunately found a recording of it on Audible. I purchased it and just finished listening to it. Billy was a ‘crusading defense’ attorney (per the NYT) and a progressive activist living in New Orleans and representing men on death row when Katrina hit. He was from New York but called New Orleans his home. The book is (in my opinion) excellent. It reads like a John Grisham novel - somewhat personal but mostly filled with a wonderful history of the city, it’s politics, and a truthful analysis of government’s role in the corruption and racism at play in New Orleans when Katrina hit. I loved the book; it was a quick read because I couldn’t put it down.

Enjoyed the ride!

I enjoyed the story. I came to Ann Cleeves after watching a couple of episodes of Shetland on Netflix. This is the first book in the series. The story is different in many ways from the TV show, so it is not predictable. One still isn’t sure ‘whodunnit’ until the end. The reader was very good - able to carry different voices and accents well to bring the production to life. One reviewer complained about the chapter introductions. I’m used to that; I listen to lots of books so it wasn’t a distraction. I plan to keep listening to the series. And to keep watching the series on Netflix!

Affirming Intelligent &Inspuring

A complete joy to read and contemplate. Chopra has met the call for reason centered faith theology and spoils atheism's claim on rationality.

Would like to hear the entire series!

I enjoyed it thoroughly. I'm a long time Tony Hillerman and more recently Craig Johnson fan, and love George Guidall's narration. And New Mexico is my favorite vacation spot. I started with Hard Country which actually is McGarrity's most recent book but gives a nice background for the Kevin Kerney series (it's Kerney's old family history). Now I've just finished Tularosa, the first in the Kevin Kerney series. Unfortunately, Audible doesn't have the entire series....so I'm scrambling with Amazon and area libraries to fill in the gaps. Please Audible, get busy! Thanks.
